Steps:

TRICOLORE SALAD WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Place the shallots in a small shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
• In a large shallow serving bowl, combine the radicchio, endive, arugula, oranges, and olives. Lift the shallots from the vinegar with a slotted spoon, sprinkle them on the salad, and toss lightly (discard the vinegar).
• In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Pour enough of the vinaigrette over the salad to moisten well. Sprinkle with one more teaspoon salt, toss well, and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

TRICOLORE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, oil and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• For the salad: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, about 9 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly until just warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Add the pasta to the dressing and toss well to coat. Allow to cool to room temperature in the dressing, tossing occasionally. Add the arugula, basil, tomatoes, peppers, cheese and salt and toss well to combine and coat everything in the dressing. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

CHARRED TRICOLORE SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the mustard and the vinegar together in a mixing bowl. Whisking constantly, add 2-3 tablespoons of the oil in a thin stream until the mixture thickens. Then in a steady stream, whisk in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can thin the vinaigrette by whisking in a few drops of water.
• Preheat a gas grill to medium high, or preheat a grill pan on top of the stove to medium. Grill the radicchio and endive, uncovered, until they begin to wilt and char but are still holding their shape, 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the dressing leftover in the bottom of the mixing bowl. Place the radicchio and endive in a large bowl and add the vinaigrette and oregano. Toss to coat.
